Empowering of women in urban and rural areas still vary quite large number among women at national level. However, according to recent studies, although urban women have advanced very much regarding education, employment and digital literacy, rural women still confront immense impediments to empowerment. It is even clearer in terms of resource access, decision making and achievement outcomes. Knowing that gender empowerment varies in urban and rural women of Pune district, India is able to reach its goal of social fairness by 2047. The research is based on the digital ethnographic approach, an approach of how 25 women (12 urban residents and 13 rural residents) live their lives through multiple digital methods (including interviews and social media analyses of 25 participants). Looking at urban and rural areas, the research analyzes empowerment due to the availability of resources, the level of authority of decision making and the accomplishments in life realized. The study provides detailed, context-based results to its narrative and thematic evaluation about the hurdles and potentials that women face with respect to distinct geographical settings. It shows the factors which influence the empowerment of women through the factors between the internet accessibility and the societal expectations, and provides important directions for public actions. These findings will allow us to join ongoing development discussions and present an advanced method for studying similar instances of gender inequity from the same social and geographical area. By 2047, the study aims to help rural and urban women overcome online and offline obstacles to empowerment and empower women across India and advise developing custom solutions to support the same.

Abstract

India's gender equity has a long way to go and faces arguably its greatest challenge in bridging the urban rural divide. Empowering of women in urban and rural areas still vary quite large number among women at national level. However, according to recent studies, although urban women have advanced very much regarding education, employment and digital literacy, rural women still confront immense impediments to empowerment. It is even clearer in terms of resource access, decision making and achievement outcomes. Knowing that gender empowerment varies in urban and rural women of Pune district, India is able to reach its goal of social fairness by 2047. The research is based on the digital ethnographic approach, an approach of how 25 women (12 urban residents and 13 rural residents) live their lives through multiple digital methods (including interviews and social media analyses of 25 participants). Looking at urban and rural areas, the research analyzes empowerment due to the availability of resources, the level of authority of decision making and the accomplishments in life realized. The study provides detailed, context-based results to its narrative and thematic evaluation about the hurdles and potentials that women face with respect to distinct geographical settings. It shows the factors which influence the empowerment of women through the factors between the internet accessibility and the societal expectations, and provides important directions for public actions. These findings will allow us to join ongoing development discussions and present an advanced method for studying similar instances of gender inequity from the same social and geographical area. By 2047, the study aims to help rural and urban women overcome online and offline obstacles to empowerment and empower women across India and advise developing custom solutions to support the same.
